Chapter 144: An Unexpected Enemy

One day, two days, ten days of frightening winds, the scenery galloped westward. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Cao Cao held the strip of cloth in his hand and his face was ugly: "The potter won't come." ”

"Huh?"

"This is the latest information from the eyeliner, the potter canceled the mobilization order after issuing the mobilization order, but only strengthened the vigilance of the counties, and did not do anything else. ”

After reading the information, Jiang Zhe was confused: "Gave up?"

Although I don't know why the potter gave up, he did give up. ”

Suddenly, his tone changed: "Since our army has been assembled, how about going west to Chang'an?"

"It's not proper, not to mention that our army has just planted spies into Chang'an, and now we don't know anything about Chang'an, that is, the army will be exhausted in Chang'an, and it is inevitable that Gunzhou will be empty, and the potters will not let go of a good opportunity to destroy you!"

Cao Cao nodded, acquiescing to Jiang Zhe's statement, and a great battle in the winter of 185 AD disappeared.

________________

There are pros and cons to everything, and it is nothing more than a difference between pros and cons. The potter, who was training the army in an orderly manner and preparing to wait for Cao Cao to successfully welcome the Son of Heaven in the coming year, surprised him with a special surprise.

"Lu Bu?" the potter looked at the soldiers who had rushed to report five hundred miles with a look of surprise.

At the same time, it was not only the pottery merchant who was surprised, outside Xiaopei City, a tall man who was angry and majestic, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, and sitting down to neigh, also looked at Xiao Peicheng who was not moving like a mountain in surprise, "It's been three days, and I still can't attack it for a long time, who is stationed in this Xiaopei City?"

"According to the spies, Xiao Pei's county order is called Zhang Zhao. ”

"I haven't heard of it! We have been running for a long time, and we wanted to take Xuzhou by taking advantage of the pottery merchant Xiaoer's unstable foothold, and we didn't want to be stopped by the little Xiaopei, so we gave the order to go down, surround Xiaopei, rest and scold the battle, and then attack the city in one fell swoop!" As Lu Bu's order came out, the sound of cymbals penetrating the battlefield sounded, and Lu Bujun, who was fighting to the death against the defenders in the city, was like a kite being pulled off the string, and began to retreat quickly.

Watching the tide of enemy troops like tigers and wolves retreat, Zhang Zhao, who was stained with blood, breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, this Zhang Zhao is the important minister of Eastern Wu in later generations, the one who "asks Zhang Zhao about internal affairs" can match Du Niang's Zhang Zhao. Originally, Zhang Zhao did not plan to go out for two reasons: first, he was not optimistic about the pottery merchants, even if the courage of the overlord was only defeated by Wujiang; second: he was not optimistic about Xuzhou, Xuzhou was the land of four wars, there was no strategic depth, and he could not afford to lose at all, and failure was equivalent to destruction.

When Xuzhou was at the beginning of the peace, the potter wanted to recruit him when he first went to recruit the more "famous" Lu Su, but after the "three visits to the thatched house", Lu Su was still not close to oil and salt, in fact, the potter did not know that Lu Su had actually been moved, but because Zhou Yu invited him to serve Sun Ce one step ahead of him and had to refuse, the potter was furious and killed more than 3,000 people of the Lu clan. When Zhou Yu heard the news and rushed to Lujiabao, there were only broken walls left, and he looked up to the sky and shouted, "Potter, I will eat Ru meat and sleep Ru skin!"

Then the potter asked to see Zhang Zhao non-stop, and after Lixian went down, the potter was angry, and directly put down the cruel words: "Lu Su rejected me, and then I destroyed his whole clan!"

If the potter is a real villain, then Zhang Zhao is a true gentleman, he can't do the things of hypocrisy and wrongdoing, and he has no choice but to surrender, whether it is true or not, Zhang Zhao is indeed a true gentleman, since he has promised to return to obedience, he will not easily deviate, so there is a scene where Zhang Zhao County ordered to resist Lu Bu to the death.

As for why Zhang Zhao, who is a talented countryman, is only a county order, it is actually a helpless move for the potters to consider comprehensively.

First: The potter has already parachuted a Guo Jia as the second-in-command of a state, what will he think if he parachutes another person below? We work hard, we have no merit and hard work, we have never been promoted to a knighthood, and any outsider is in a high position without making any merits, so what else will we do? It will seriously weaken the work enthusiasm of the people below. Just like in modern society, employees will work very diligently and hard when they have the hope of a higher position, but if they don't see hope, they will just get by or simply change jobs.

Second: Zhang Zhao is a talent who is biased towards internal affairs, and there are actually not many positions in Xuzhou, and the high positions are occupied by old ministers.

Third: and the most important point, although the potter forced Zhang Zhao to convince him, he did not know whether he was sincere to do things for himself, and Xiaopei, as the land of Gaozu Longxing, has the name of "the enclave of the ancient dragon, the township of a generation of emperors", so that Zhang Zhao is not a big official here, but it can also reflect his attention, which is the most suitable.

"County Lieutenant, how is the matter of sending people to Xuzhou for help?"

"According to your orders, I have sent people to Xuzhou for five hundred miles for three days in a row to ask for help, and the reinforcements should be in these few days. ”

Zhang Zhao's tired expression suddenly glowed: "Order the whole army, reinforcements will arrive in two days! As long as we hold out for two days, we will win!"

The county lieutenant was stunned, "My lord, I don't know when the reinforcements will come, how can such a notice be transmitted?"

"The soldiers are already exhausted, if we are still vague about the reinforcements, the spirit of the soldiers will collapse at any time, if you give the soldiers a certain hope, at least within two days I can ensure that Xiaopei is not lost, and that's what I can do!"

The county lieutenant bowed to him.

The rest of the time the two armies spent in mutual scolding, and the next day, when Zhang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and thought that he would spend his time in scolding today, the county Cheng casually said a classic scolding sentence that made Zhang Zhao's hope become an extravagant hope.

"Three family slaves, Lao Tzu is standing here, do you dare to come up? ha!"

This scolding can stab the hornet's nest, Lu Bu's face is redder than the red rabbit horse, and he galloped to the city on the red rabbit horse, pulling the bow and shooting arrows.

But the next plot made Zhang Zhao regret pushing it so much, "I knew that I would let Lu Bu shoot him to kill him to dissipate his anger, but now that he has lost his mind and attacked regardless of losses, the city will be broken overnight." Zhang Zhao looked at the 30,000 Lu Bujun's attack like a tide, and his face was helpless.

After a few days of resistance, Xiao Pei's defenders had been reduced to 2,500 men, and in just an hour, under the personal siege of Lu Bu, who had lost his mind, Xiao Pei's casualties had reached the sum of the previous days.

If there is no accident, Xiaopei Chengpo will break within an hour, but the reason why the accident is unexpected is because it is unexpected.

Chen Gongben looked at Xiao Peicheng indifferently, and then as if he sensed something, he shifted his gaze to the rear. Looking at the green grass reflected in the sunset, he remembered the order given to him by a priest for no reason, "Attach the courage to move the world, and the hero falls into the sunset." ”
